NOTES:

• You no longer need to submit your copy of the inventory sheet to HSD - the only paperwork required for waste pickup is the pre-coded radioactive waste tickets (except for mixed waste, which requires a request form for pickup). Of course, you still need to call x55892 to request waste pickups.
• You can use as many tickets as you like, and each waste container may have many tickets attached by the time it is picked up by HSD. (You can photocopy more for any specific order, or request new originals from HSD at x57899 if someone used the last one and didn't tell you, BUT you should NOT use tickets on which the pre-printed information has been altered.)
• You can wait until waste is actually picked up to fill out the tickets and add up the amounts that have been used from a particular order to produce a single set of waste tickets for that order, OR it may be easier if you fill out the tickets more or less as you use the radioactive material and place it into waste. And you need to keep a record of your waste tickets on the User's Radioactive Material Accounting Sheet, just as you keep a record of the checks that you write in your personal checkbook, so that you know how much of the radioactivity you have reported to HSD as waste. REMEMBER, HSD will be increasingly resistant to giving credit for disposal after the fact - we want to see the radioactive material that is in your waste recorded appropriately on tickets at the time we pick up the waste! (You can mail tickets to us at C-275 for sewer disposal and patient administration.)
• HSD can help with information about how much of your radioactivity is expected to end up in which waste form (partitioning fractions). PI's have been required to submit this information on their applications to the Committee on Ionizing Radiation for almost ten years.
